i'm glad it ended with a cliffhanger, though alot of people hated it, they didn't realise it guaranteed them what they wanted: another instalment to one of the greatest franchises in the industry, at the time ofcourse
too bad Halo 3 turned out to be an ultimate disappointment IMO
Path1k, am i eight in saying you dont like Halo 3 because its too linear?
If so, personally i think that making it slightky more linear wasnt a bad thing. At least it was packed with action and awesome battles you have to fit through to get along the path.
Heres how i see it
Halo CE: Very open enviroments, plenty of room to do basically whatever you want, huge levels. Action packed battles are rare, the ones you come across on AotCR are easy to just bypass with a scorpion.
Halo 2: more linear, but still enoug space to explore and develop strategies when needed. More battles and concentrations of enemies make it the perfct balance between linear and open
Halo 3: admittedly the most linear of the trilogy, although nigh concentrations of enemies along the path make for fun firefighs and battles. However, not enough rom to develop a variety of strategies, with the exception of some parts of The Storm
Halo 3: ODST: Mombasa Streets is giant, there is plenty of roomto do what you want. Sadly, strategies developed here cant really be put to much use since enemy patrols are farely infrequent in the huge city, The campaign missiona themselves, I'd say they're between Halo 2 and Halo 3 when it comes to being linear. More linear than Halo 2 but more space for strategies than Halo 3
Halo Reach: Halo Reach campaign is quite linear for the most part, however, the very frequent battles often leave enough room for strategies. In most kissions, you progress along the storyline in a linearpath, but a lot of the big standoffs a long the way are very open and leave plenty of room for fighting the battle your way
S thise are my views on 'linearaty' in the Halo series. any typos are down to this iPad
